After 23 weeks treatment at SWI, I am finally home.  Am I recovered?  I would say: No.  But I am now on a good path to regain my health.  Gary told me I will start feeling better in about 2 weeks; and Dr. Sponaugle said it takes 6-12 months to heal.  So I will be patient.  I arrived home on April 22.  It has been 4 days and I am feeling better now than when I arrived.  I hope I will be feeling better and better, but I would also prepare for some ups and downs.  I decided not to participate any social events for at least 3 months, and I will also try to avoid any crowds.  Home detox is essential for my recovery so I will be very serious about it. 

The past 23 weeks have not been easy for me and my family: financially and emotionally.  I am glad I had the treatment so I can anticipate a healthy life ahead of me and for my family.  I have learned so much about health, things that the conventional health literature won't teach me.  I have experienced and witnessed so much human suffering and the healing of that suffering that I believe it is my mission to not only heal myself but also to help many others.  I made many great friends at SWI and met the SWI compassionate employees.  I miss people at SWI, and I pray for all patients' smooth recovery.  

 

I may have lost much of my life in my many years suffering, but it will all be worthwhile when I am empowered to have a healthy life style and to inspire others to have a healthy life style as well as to seek their path to wellness.  We are living in a toxic world so it is important to look outside of the conventional realm to ways to detox and maintain our health.  For the rest of my life I will follow a new life style and in many ways I will have to experiment to find my own path.  I would love to share my own experience and will make friends with people who have the same pursuits.  

 

Having come home I realized I have so much to catch up with, but I will take time to give my body a chance to rest.  I am blessed that my family has been most supportive and now I feel it is my job to make sure my family also has a healthy life style and detox when necessary.

This is the last blog of my series "My SWI Experience".  I may continue to write about my post SWI experience.  I am not quite sure yet as my hands are pretty full at the moment.  

 

Before I leave for today's rest I THANK GOD to have helped me thus far, and I will continue to pray for God's guidance. 

The following is an excerpt from the Old Testament on what to do if you have mold in your house.  Notice the Lord did not advise to simply paint over it or use bleach.  Depending on the extent of the mold growth, an owner may be able to safely remediate the problem themselves or it may require professional help.  Mold Investigations will be able to help you make those decisions.

Leviticus 14

33 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 34 “When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in that land, 35 the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like mildew in my house.’ 36 The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mildew, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house. 37 He is to examine the mildew on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall, 38 the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days. 39 On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls, 40 he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town. 41 He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town. 42 Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.

43 “If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered, 44 the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean. 45 It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.

46 “Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening. 47 Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash his clothes.

48 “But if the priest comes to examine it and the mildew has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the mildew is gone. 49 To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. 50 He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. 51Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 52 He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. 53 Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”
